Regimen
I hadn’t bothered, until now, to examine if regimen and regiment are related. They are. From Latin, regere, to rule. A regimen is a course of diet or exercise for the sake of health. We can easily see how an army regiment required rules and discipline.

Re: Regimen
We can toss in plain old regime and have a well-organized three-fer salad.
Life is like playing chess with chessmen who each have thoughts and feelings and motives of their own.
